SharkTattoos posted:I thought that we looked pretty good last night considering the pitching opposition. Guys looked better at the plate than they did against Kershaw / hill last week. Yeah, they looked better than it seemed. Also, Cleveland winning last night was the predicted result, so I can't exactly cry doom and gloom at this point.

Vintimus Prime posted:I absolutely still hate this rule. Always have, always will. And my team is an AL team. I complete agree that the rule absolutely sucks. And that's not just  from an NL team fan. It's just mind boggling that the MLB wants to attach significance to a game that is a revolving door of players. A lot of batters only get one at bat, but the pitchers are the real issue because they usually only get an inning at most now and for starters that just not enough time to get into a groove. I'd rather have home field advantage go back to alternating years than to the winner of an exhibition game.

Kevlar v2.0 posted:The worst part about going to the game was how the team with the 3rd lowest attendance in baseball suddenly has a legion of extremely cocky fans showing up at Progressive. Cleveland had a crazy sellout streak at the Jake in the mid-90s during their good years. The fans are there, but I'm not sure why they didn't turn out during the year if the team's attendance was that meh.

Am I the only Cubs fan that remembers that Kluber uses a historically Not Good fastball to setup great breaking stuff? He had his fb last night, it was cool to watch. If he doesn't have it to the same degree even a little bit the Cubs could utterly crush him. Kershaw lost a bit of touch on his curve in game 6 and look what happened.

Oh it's my fault, I forgot to make a donation pledge. $5 for every Cubs hit the rest of the series like last one. Hope the karmic scales shift now.

Klubers two seam fastball looked ridiculous last night. How many times in the regular season do you see guys bail out of the box on a two seam fastball that comes back in for a strike? I honestly don't really fault the Cubs hitters too much, Kluber was on point and he setup his slider with the two seam perfectly. He looked down right unhittable. I'm pretty pleased with how they handled Miller though, he gave up 4 hits and walked a few. Ultimately didn't cash in, but he threw something like 50 pitches.

I was always of the thought that his two seam fastball was incredibly good and then he destroys people with his cutter/slider thing.

I really think HFA in the World Series should go to the team with the better record. Alternating years just seems silly to me, and punishes the better team by arriving in the wrong year

I'm in town for game 2 and I'm not heading back to chicago until Friday morning so I won't really mind that much if the game gets pushed to tomorrow. Plus, then maybe the Cubs could have Hendricks go on full rest tomorrow, and Arrieta could go on Friday at home where his bat is a huge advantage. edit: biggest chance of rain apparently is 65% from 11 PM to 2 AM, but it's basically 50% from 2PM on. I could totally see a rainout happening.

I'm onboard the gently caress Buck train, but Smoltz has been nice to listen to. Or maybe he just seems great compared to the douche next to him... Kluber was filthy last night...and I cannot think of a more Cubs way to gently caress themselves out of a bases loaded no out scenario than last night. That was tough to watch.
